I don't know what is going on here, but my MOLPRO installation gives

  Reference energy                   -183.689955611759
  CCSD Energy                        -184.208710924992
 !CCSD(T) Energy                     -184.233981561579

for the input you supplied, which agrees with the NWChem/literature values you 
cite. Could you run "make test" in the MOLPRO directory? Perhaps the compiler 
or compiler/blas/lapack combination is broken in some way.
